Japanese products are associated with durability, practicability, and utility. Toyota is one proof of those qualities; just look at the firm’s cars that have penetrated every market. This global brand knows how to create four-wheeled masterpieces that are not just head-turners, but they're also reliable.
Toyota started as a looming business in the 1890s and diversified into making engines, with the aim of creating automobiles. That journey started in 1934 with the Type A engine, which two years later was loaded into the A1, a prototype sedan of the company.
The company's foray into the United States market in the late '50s was not successful but grasped success with the Corolla and Corona in the '60s. From then on, Toyota has become a global leader in car manufacturing, creating best-selling automobiles. Through ups and downs, the Japanese company stayed true to its motto of going to places. Their cars are now everywhere.
